Property Line
Navigating Emotional Boundaries: Little Big League's 'Property Line' Reflection
Lyrics
Property Line
Refers to a boundary between two properties
In spite of my personal feelings
Despite my personal emotions or sentiments
You are being cruel on purpose
You're intentionally being unkind
Submitted my composure and image
I maintained my self-control and public image
And he can see you all over
Others can perceive your influence all around me
Oh you, you bully
You, the aggressor
You always loved to see
You always found pleasure in
How many fingers you could fit inside this old wound
Inflicting pain, as if reopening an old wound
We were beached by the same tide but I swallowed all need
Though we faced the same challenges, I suppressed my desires
Now I'm older
Now that I'm older
I was rooting for you, and you still take it out on me
I supported you, yet you continue to mistreat me
Aren't you older?
Aren't you more mature now?
God you, you bully
You, the tormentor
You got what you want
You achieved your desires
A big house near the city “falling forward alone”
Achieved success but may feel isolated or disconnected
I fell from a great height and woke up screaming
I experienced a sudden downfall and awoke in terror
Eased myself with a memory — dad on the property line
Found solace in a memory of my father along the property boundary
Putting me to work, clearing the acreage of blackberry bramble
My father put me to work, clearing land, a metaphor for life's challenges
Loading up the burn piles, loading my days into burn piles
Symbolic of investing time and effort, only to see it go up in flames
